Am I correct in thinking that Capita do them all in your own home? Also for my ESA face to face I sent in a letter requesting a home visit if I need to do this for pip at what point during my application do I need to send this letter in?
You are more likely to get a home visit with Capita than ATOS but they still do a significant proportion of the assessments in their offices, you will need a new letter from your GP explaining why you cannot at the Assessment Providers offices.

I would send a copy with the PIP2, but both APs have a habit of booking an appointment without properly referring to the claimants file, so you may need to send it again if an assessment at their offices is made.
